The ODB splitter utility is a plug-in that is provided to help the user reduce the size of ODBs. This is achieved by generating an 'empty' ODB by carrying out a datacheck and selecting the variables and frames and, if required, regions of the model which are to be written to the 'empty' ODB. It should be noted that Frame 0 of the first step is generated automatically by the datacheck. This information cannot be removed from the new ODB. 

This utility is accessed through the plug-in menu of Abaqus/CAE.
